I love both Michaelâs and Little Mikes. First off their staff are amazing, so welcoming and accommodating and knowledgable about their menu. The food is simply stunning, if you love great steak and seafood you are in for a treat. I first learned about this restaurant from a business friend of mine and he suggested I visited, so I did. Since then Iâve taken many of my clients for a real experience of Irish seafood and fish in Michaelâs and Little Mikes and theyâve left being very impressed. A trip to both Michaelâs and Little Mikes will not disappoint. Never mind the stuck up review yer man gave below.Canât wait for my next visit. Keep up the great work guys!

Having enjoyed a meal in Toscana many times over the years we booked an early table on Friday evening in the expectation of repeating our previous experience. All good on the service and getting a table as very few in restaurant so thumbs up so far.We picked from the early bird menu. The starters of suppli and meatballs were very middle of the road, suppli lacked any presence of mozzarella and once the bubbling of the tomato sauce on the meatballs subsided they they proved to be dry and lacking flavour wit( the garlic bread sodden rather than crisp on outside.....Hopeful that the min course would get us back on track we were again disappointed....My wifeâs lasagne was lacking meat sauce and flavour and again the bubbling mass of tomato sauce covering showed it had been overheated. I had salmon which was the better of the two courses but it had a distinctive fishy smell not usually associated with freshness. Sides ( payable extra as informed) were in line with rest of meal...mediocreAll in all a very underwhelming meal for a not inconsiderable price. !!!As a local I would not be rushing back and couldnât truthfully recommend to family and friends anymore.Sorry Toscana but your crown has most definitely slipped.....Hi Noel,We want to thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are very sorry to hear about your experience at Toscana. Since we opened we have always prided ourselves on providing top service that matches the quality of our food. We apologise that this visit didn't live up to your expectations. We take reviews like this seriously, especially when they come from loyal local customers like yourself and we will look into this matter immediately so we can improve. We have appreciated your custom over the years, we would appreciate the opportunity to make this right, but can only do so if you give us a second chance. Kind regards, Toscana Dun Laoghaire

Visiting Dublin Ireland with friends and took a day trip to the coastal town of Dalkey. After exploring the castle and surrounding area, we stopped in for an early dinner at Ouzo's Steak & Seafood restaurant on Castle Street. We were just in time for the Early Dinner Menu with 2 courses for â¬24. My starter order of buffalo wings was a generous portion fried crispy to perfection in a tangy sauce. The grilled hake entree was light and flaky and came with a side of grilled vegetables. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly and the atmosphere warm and inviting. It clearly is a favorite among locals as the dining room quickly filled up during our stay. Treat yourself to a great meal here next time you're in the area.

This charming bistro style seafood restaurant is well worth a visit.The owner, Peter Caviston, as utterly charming and his deli store next door, probably the best I have seen anywhere in Ireland.Caviston's has been there for decades, has a loyal local clientele and caters perfectly for visitors. Fresh, fresh seafood and shellfish. The crab mayonnaise is outstanding.
